Abstract

A system and method for contract business intelligence that includes managing a data-driven contract corpus comprised of at least a set of distinct and related contracts, wherein managing the data-driven contract corpus comprises of acquiring contract related data from the contract corpus, comprising of making contract related data accessible to programmable clauses; storing the contract related data, comprising of processing and organizing the contract related data; analyzing the contract related data; and visualizing the contract related data and the analysis of the contract related data.

Claims (25)

1 . A method for contract business intelligence comprised of:

managing a data-driven contract corpus comprised of at least a set of distinct and related contracts, wherein managing the data-driven contract corpus comprises of:

acquiring contract related data from the contract corpus, comprising of making contract related data accessible to programmable clauses

storing the contract related data, comprising of processing and organizing the contract related data;

analyzing the contract related data; and

visualizing the contract related data and the analysis of the contract related data.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the contract corpus is comprised of a first subset of contracts of a first type and at least a second subset of contracts of a second type.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein making contract related data accessible comprises of, for a machine readable section of a contract in the contract corpus, directly interfacing and accessing state and programmable logic of a contract.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein making contract related data accessible comprises of, for natural language text of a contract in the contract corpus, applying natural language processing and mapping sections of natural language to programmable logic and data sources.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein acquiring contract related data further comprises of acquiring data from external sources.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein data from external sources comprises of data from enterprise sources.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein data from external sources comprises of data from a distributed ledger.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein processing and organizing the contract related data further comprises of aggregating, collating, and associating data from different types of contract related data.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein storing the contract related data is done on at least one distributed ledger.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the contract related data comprises of analyzing data on distributed ledger.

11 . The method of claim 10 , visualizing the contract related data and the analysis of the contract related data comprises presenting a distributed ledger specific parser display that comprises of presenting a dashboard of transactions, ledger/account addresses, and distributed ledger state.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing contract related data comprises of generating a predicted future state of a contract corpus.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing contract related data comprises of prescribing recommended terms and conditions of a contract.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein visualizing contract related data occurs in real time.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein visualizing contract related data comprises of showing intra-contract relationships and inter-contract relationships.

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein visualizing contract related data further comprises of visualizing distributed ledger pertinent information of the contract related data.

17 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising automating an computer-driven action in response to a rule based on at least the analysis of the contract related data.

18 . The method of claim 1 , wherein visualizing the contract related data and the analysis of the contract related data comprises of generating a recommendation of at least one decision option.

19 . The method of claim 1 , wherein visualizing the contract related data and the analysis of the contract related data comprises of presenting visualization of historical data relating to the contract related data and analysis of the contract related data.

20 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising initiating a notification in response to the contract related data and the analysis of the contract related data.
